thanks for all the birthday comments! i was busy all day and didn't even think to check anything online.

I saw Dead Can Dance last night. It was amazing. Neener neener if you missed it.

Oh my goodness I'm updating the journal I keep forgetting that I have. Oh well I'm too freakkin' busy for the most part. Here in Champaign, IL as Nick is assembling the infamous Ikea futon that I have at my place. We made a good haul at ikea up in Bolingbrook, IL part of the vast surban expanse known as "Chicagoland" whooo. Nick was also...

The past week has been very long and trying. I'm pretty much getting used to working 12+ hour days on campus. It is just how fried I am when Friday night rolls around. For example last night I passed out at 7PM on my futon and woke up at 9PM, washed the dishes and went back to bed at 9:45 and I could barely fight...

I hate writing! I'm tired of working on this fellowship proposal ~ my writing ability just sucks ass sometimes. The older I get the worse I think I am as far as my ability to communicate what I am doing.

Good things this week:
Got a mixing board from a friend to borrow
Free copy of Kraftwerk's Computer World on vinyl!!
Said friend also dug...

Argh, I'm too busy to maintain two online journals . . . it is too bad I can't update both at the same time. Oh well. So I've been working a lot and that is about it. I hate the normal semester save for the fact the busses run more frequently.

So I finally took non-retarded pics of my purple hair. However, b/c the dye was that shitty I had to dye half of it black to cover up the weird nasty color combo the right side of my head ended up with.
Also, the purple is really hard to see in the pic. Maybe natural light would be better.

all of the pics can be...

Been busy in the lab and on campus till 7/8PM recently. However, I will get pics of my purple hair up soon. Prob by tomorrow morning (ie. I need to take pics tonight).

Anyhoo, back to work and then class later today.

Welp, I have purple hair now. Not the best results but that is what happens when you use a dye that you've never used before. . . At least my hair doesn't look nasty like it has for most of the summer . . . ah the wonders of neglect that my physical apperance gets occasionally due to this thing known as graduate school.

Not much to say recently. . . been working quite a bit and getting ready to take the dive and purchase a set of studio monitors for my apartment to improve my lack of tunage in the apartment right now. I still need to get internet at home too but I'm still to lazy to bother with it.

Classes start up next week, I'm not...

So on Thursday afternoon I hit the road for Urbana-Champaign to meet up with my brother and parents to help Nick move into his new apartment in Champaign. I got there 10 minutes after they did and helped unpack everything in the lovely hot day.

Nick's apartment is straight out of the 50s in a bad way. He's got 2 rooms and a small living...

Welp, I've returned from U of I and Urbana-Champaign and had to tote my parents around Lafayette yesterday. It wasn't bad, but damn, I'm tired and I need to get some work done today. Eh, I'll update later on today in more depth. Blargh. Curse my parents getting up at 6:30 AM this morning before leaving my place.
